Physicians Disaster Assignments

Disaster Assignments

Please review the list that divides local physicians into two groups for assignments at Bay Medical Center and Gulf Coast Medical Center during emergencies and disasters. The list for Bay Medical Center is attached. If you are not on this list, you are assigned to Gulf Coast Medical Center.

It is important that you review it now and note which hospital you should report to if necessary.

Please check in at our Command Center (747-6045), located in the BMC Community Board Room just inside the Bonita Avenue entrance (the old main lobby), when you are physically present in the hospital during the upcoming storm or call 258-1384.

Discharge Patients

Please discharge as many patients as possible, as staffing levels will be decreased and patients must be moved from various areas of the hospital.

ER and group call schedules

If you should make any changes as the storm approaches, you should immediately notify our office at 747-6927 so that timely updates can be communicated as appropriate throughout the hospitals.

Current contact info

Please make sure we have your current contact info (home phone, pager, cell phone). To be sure, you may wish to fax it to our office at 747-6587, or email it to amy.jones@baymedical.org.

Phone Lines

In the event the phone lines become unavailable, and should your cell phone cease to work, we will provide in-house cell phones while you are on campus.
